Article Title: ANZAC Day - April 25th
Festival Name: ANZAC Day
Festival Country: Australia
Festival Type(s): Remembrance, Historical
Anzac Day, April 25th, is significant for both New Zealand and Australia where, in Australia, at least, it has become far more than a commemoration of war dead. The history of this day is relatively simple but its symbolism is extremely complex.

Whilst travelling through Central Queensland we heard of the upcoming Charleville Camel, Donkey and Yabbie Race Festival and felt we just had to be there. We made a dash to Charleville risking life and limb, travelling at night through the kangaroo infested outback.

The Santa Claus Pub Crawl takes place on the last working Friday before Christmas. There is only one requirement: each crawler must be dressed head to toe in full Santa suit.

Article Title: Two Up in Kalgoorlie
Festival Name: Two Up in Kalgoorlie
Festival Country: Australia
Festival Type(s): Traditional, National
It's a well-known fact that Australians will bet on anything. Two flies climbing a wall will attract a bet on which one will reach a particular position first. There's also a well-known Australian pastime of dividing a sports-field into a number of squares and letting a cow loose after priming it with large amounts of food. Punters then select a square and place their bets.

Festival Name: Woodford Festival
Festival Country: Australia
Festival Type(s): Folk, Music - Folk, Music - World
The event is a complex and heady mix of music - folk, blues, tribal and world - oodles of street performers too. This is complemented with literally hundreds of talks, poetry, alto comedy, demonstrations and hands-on craft and arts workshops.

Article Title: Roach Racin'
Festival Name: World Championship Cockroach Racing
Festival Country: Australia
Festival Type(s): Sport - Bizarre, National, Bizarre
Only in Australia would they celebrate their national holiday by racing cockroaches. Yes, that's right I'm talking about those pooey brown, hairy legged, skin crawling, under the fridge indulgers and lights out kitchen partiers that infest much of the land Down Under.
Article Title: Yowah Opal Festival
Festival Name: Yowah Opal Festival
Festival Country: Australia
Festival Type(s): Local, Collectors
With all this devastation there is a strange beauty about the place. There is certainly a beauty about the gemstone that the locals find here. Yowah is the home of the Yowah Nut. A nondescript brown stone on the outside , but when split in two, can reveal a beautiful iron stone centre with strange patterns and crystal opal either in a pocket or often spread throughout the stone.
